Madeleine Peyroux

Details

“The only thing that matters is the song”

Madeleine Peyroux has drawn comparisons to the likes of Billie Holiday and Bessie Smith for her intimately arranged covers of classic blues and jazz.

Now Peyroux takes on the challenge of the music of Ray Charles in her new chart-topping release The Blue Room, reinterpreting his Modern Sounds in Country & Western Music in an exciting new light.

“The only thing that matters is the song” says singer-songwriter Madeleine Peyroux. That conviction, along with a one-of-a-kind voice, has carried her from busking on the streets of Paris all the way to mainstream recognition.

Through her intensely distinctive renditions of old classics and modern tunes by the likes of Leonard Cohen and The Beatles, Peyroux has proved to be an uncannily insightful interpreter with her consistently impeccable choice of material.
